NTS Grid: 42A02SE

Point Location Description: Approximate location of Au (gold) symbol on Map 2109

Location Method: Conversion from MDI

Access Description: From Kirkland Lake, Highway # 66 should be taken for 56 km to the town of Matachewan. From here, a north-westerly unpaved road (Highway # 566) leads by the Mistinikon Lake (13 km) which allows access to the property either by boat or snow engine in winter time. A well marked trail leaves the north shore of the Lake for one half mile to the northwest.

Geology Comments

Jun 02, 2010 (J Suma-Momoh) - Series of parallel shears across widths ranging from 30 to 50 feet extend for a length of more than 500 feet, and cut greenstones and syenite. The shears strike N80 degrees East and dip 80 degrees South, and contain quartz stringers. The wall rock is greatly altered and contains pyrite. REF: OGS 1967, GR 51, page 31.

Lithology Comments

Jun 02, 2010 (J Suma-Momoh) - Fred Kiernicki states that: 'the rock types consist essentially of mafic volcanics (andesite, basalt, andesite porphyry, agglomerate, carbonatized and amygdaloidal rocks; small syenite and syenite porphyry dykes also intrude the trenches.' REF: see Geology, in KL 4000.

Mineralization Comments

Jun 02, 2010 (J Suma-Momoh) - The mineralization consists of disseminated pyrite and gold bearing quartz-iron carbonate veins. It occurs in intermediate to mafic volcanics transformed into sericite-chlorite-iron carbonate schist, intruded by pinkish dykes of possible syenitic affinity. Old results reported by Sylvanite Gold Mines in 1940, mentioned channel sampling intervals reaching 6.5 g/t Au over 5.2 m and 17 g/t Au over 1.5 m. Values ranging from trace to 0.45 oz/t gold have been reported for grab sample collected from the shear zone. REF: OGS 1979, MDC 18, Part 2, Page 189 Samples taken by Maude Lake at the fall of 1997, over a length of more than 120 m along the exposed part of the structure, returned values such as 14.1, 8.0, 21.7 g/t Au. The structure represents a 3 km-long potential target on the property, scarcely exposed over less than 200 m at surface. REF: KL4534, page 6. The Channelling and Sampling program carried out by Maude Lake Exploration Ltd. in 1998 proved that high values are restricted to quartz veining and their adjacent pyritized wall-rocks. The best interval of 5.3 g/t Au over 2.0 metres came from a zone consisting of 50 % quartz-carbonate. The quartz veins are hosted within intense carbonatized shears oriented at N80 degrees/sub-vertical, while most of the veins trend E-W and dip 45 - 60 degrees south. REF: KL 4534, page 8.



Alteration Comments

Jun 02, 2010 (J Suma-Momoh) - The wall rock in the shear zone is greatly altered and contains pyrite. Carbonate, iron-carbonate, sericite, chlorite and fuchsite alteration have been reported.
